Volume 2: Deer Valley Nursery Thirty-Three: Soul Root
I don't know how long later, in the silence and darkness, I can gradually hear some faint sounds, and as my consciousness slowly returns, Qian Chao gradually wakes up.
He still remembers that he went to Little Lotus Lake with a few companions, talking together by the lake, why was it dark? When did you go to sleep, why don't you remember at all, did you drink alcohol? Tang Ping had wine on her. Thinking of Tang Ping, the memory slowly returned to Qian Chao's mind, he finally remembered that someone seemed to be pushing him behind him, and when he turned around, he found that Tang Ping was standing unsteadily, as if he was drunk and bumped into him, just about to help her, he also fell, vaguely remembered that Brother Li seemed to shout "Who is there, come out", but he heard it in his ears at the time as if it was a voice from a long distance, and then it was dark, until he woke up now.
Are we being calculated?
Someone is trying to harm us?
Who is it?
Who have you offended?
Of course, there is only one Qin Suiyu!
Is he the one who harms us? It shouldn't be, he just entered the Qi Refining, and he still swallowed the Qi Refining Qi that the Zhuang Ling Dan entered, could it be that he learned some spells in such a short time and came back to deal with us?
Qian Chao was the first of the five to wake up. However, before he opened his eyes, he realized that he had been plotted by others, and there was no abnormal feeling in his mouth, nose and eyes, as if the person who did it did not cover his mouth, nose and eyes with strips of cloth or something. In order to prevent the attacker from discovering that he woke up and came back to cause harm, although he regained consciousness, he did not dare to open his eyes, and he did not even dare to move his eyeballs, but he still pretended to be unconscious there, but listened to the movements around him with his ears pricked up.
This Qin Suiyi is so powerful, can he learn any powerful spells after walking for less than two months? At that time, Tang Ping didn't have the slightest abnormality before he fell, what about the rest of the people, if the other party used a spell, then Brother Lu and Brother Li were afraid that they would be opponents.
At this time, Qian Chao almost decided that the person who assassinated him was that Qin Suixu.
So how is Brother Li now, as well as Brother Lu and Sister Yan, did they escape, or were they also put down and arrested together?
There was a sound of footsteps, the sound of someone dragging a heavy object against the ground, and a short time later, the voice of a young man was heard.
"Master, everything has been arranged."
Qian Chao almost opened his eyes when he heard it, this was definitely not Qin Suiyi's voice, this voice was very familiar to him, it was the senior brother Guan Shan Qiguan who was in Tingtao Pavilion and gave enlightenment to his new disciples, and he could see him in Tingtao Pavilion every month.
How could it be him? Who is the Master he is talking about?
Didn't Qin Suiyi do it?
"Very good, you can prepare it yourself, and then go to that array, and when the old man starts this formation, you can get your wish fulfilled, but you better hurry up, this formation has been activated for a long time, and the people in the Five Spirit Sect will inevitably notice it, if you come to inspect it, it will not be good, you only have half an hour, half an hour has passed, you have to come out no matter what, otherwise the profit and loss will be converted into each other, and the old man will not dare to guarantee that it will be a good thing for you, can you remember?"
An old, frail-sounding voice rang out nearby.
"The disciple has written it down, and he must remember the master's instructions." Guan Shanqi's voice replied again.
"Okay, you go over, when you sit down, the old man will begin."
"Thank you, Master."
Senior Brother Guan's voice replied again, and then he heard soft footsteps walking in his direction.
Since it was Guan Shanqi who dealt with him, he was a Qi refining cultivator, so it would be impossible to escape if there were five people, what kind of formation was there here? Who is Guan Shanqi's master? What are they going to do when they bring themselves and five others in? A series of questions kept flashing in Qian Chao's heart, listening to the old voice saying what formation to open, Qian Chao's heart swelled with an ominous premonition, he couldn't care so much, he opened his eyes.
He was in a cave, no, it should be in a cave that had been repaired in the vast and empty stone hall, the many glass lamps on the surrounding stone walls reflected the entire cave hall, he saw four tall and stout, round and simple stone pillars, in front of each stone pillar there was a person sitting on the plate, it was Lu Pingchuan, Li Jian, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan who were still delirious.
Qian Chao expected that there was also a stone pillar like this behind him, but he couldn't look back, because he was horrified to find that although he could open his eyes, his whole body seemed to be controlled by himself except for his eyelids, and the rest seemed to belong to him, and he couldn't move his whole body, no, he couldn't feel the rest of his body.
That Guan Shanqi was walking towards a small stone platform in the middle of the five people, probably what he had heard before.
"Senior Brother Guan! What are you doing? Why are you plotting against the five of us? Seeing that Guan Shanqi was about to step on the stone platform, Qian Chao shouted, only to realize that in addition to his eyes, his mouth can also be controlled.
"You're awake?!"
Guan Shanqi looked at Qian Chao with some surprise.
"It doesn't matter if you wake up or not, since you're awake, let's watch."
Saying that, Guan Shanqi stepped on the stone platform with one foot.
"I'm not afraid to tell you, when you look back, you can tell the other four people in the future, so that the five of you won't be confused for the rest of your life."
After speaking, Guan Shanqi completely climbed the stone platform.
"This!"
Guan Shanqi said and lightly stomped on the stone platform below with his foot, and pointed out with his arm.
"It's a relic of ancient times, the Five Elements Transformation Spirit Suppression Evil Lock Demon Great Array, of course, now only a small part of the original Great Array is left, but it is the core part, the Five Elements Turning Spirit Formation, also known as the Little Five Spirit Array."
Guan Shanqi said proudly, the light and gentle on his face was long gone, replaced by pride, excitement, ridicule and greed.
"This small five-spirit array is a kind of ancient secret formation, according to legend, this place was originally the place where the sect locked a demon, but the demon has long since escaped, and this place has been abandoned, but my teacher is a scholar and a celestial, and knows the mystery of the five-element formation here, this five-element formation is ever-changing, but it is extremely difficult to arrange,"
Speaking of this, Guan Shanqi paused deliberately, looked at Qian Chao, and aggravated his tone.
"But if you find a well-arranged formation, you can derive countless wonderful formations. Now this place has been arranged by my mentor, once this formation is activated, you can use this formation to repair my spiritual root, do you understand? It is to transfer the spiritual roots on the five of you to my body through the mystery of the formation, so that I can leap from mediocre qualifications to excellent qualifications, so that I can naturally practice in the future, hahahaha! ”
Guan Shanqi let out a smug laugh, and after laughing, he looked at Qian Chao with mockery and a little regret and said: "Don't worry, you won't die, even if you lose your spiritual root, the five of you won't die, but you can't practice, you can let you live." But as soon as the spirit transformation formation is over, my mentor will change the formation again, so that this place will become a five-element spirit robbery formation, and when the time comes, use the dantian qi sea that the five of you will have to heal my mentor, and you five little guys can save a Jindan powerful monk, and it will be worth it, and finally our master and apprentice will leave here and let you escape. Now that you've regained your senses, take a good look! ”
"Talk to him more, prepare quickly, the old man is going to start the formation here!" The voice of Senior Brother Guan's "teacher" came from the dark on one side, but Qian Chao couldn't see it in that direction, and he couldn't twist his neck to see it.
"Yes." Guan Shanqi replied respectfully, then sat cross-legged on the stone platform, and looked at Qian Chao with a thick mockery before closing his eyes.
This Guan Shanqi's master should be a cultivator in the sect, why is this Five Spirits Sect so unbearable, the Qi refining cultivator is plotting to refine the spiritual root of the disciple, and the serious injury of the monk Dan actually uses the cultivation of irrelevant people to heal himself?
Is this cultivation world so terrifying? Is it so common for the jungle to eat the jungle?
After listening to Guan Shanqi's words, although he didn't understand what Guan Shanqi was talking about, he understood why this Senior Brother Guan wanted to capture the five of his own people here, and he was so plotted! He couldn't help but feel afraid and angry in his heart, he really hated this embarrassed master and apprentice, and he also hated the Five Spirits Sect.
In fact, Qian Chao is wrong here, this Guan Shanqi is just an ordinary qi refining disciple of Jiuxuan in the sect, his qualifications are mediocre, he has no teacher, although his mind is not small, but his mental skills are not right. He invited himself to give a lecture in this young Ming Valley, and the steward of the sect saw that he was quite outstanding in appearance, so he agreed to his request.
Long before coming to this Youming Valley, he met by chance on an outing, and he met this teacher of his, who was also a monk of the Yudan, although he was seriously injured at the time, but he did not worry about his life for a short time. However, this monk is not a monk of the Five Spirits Sect, not only that, but the serious injury on his body was left to him by the monks of the Five Spirits Sect, fortunately, he was cunning and cunning, otherwise he would have been punished a long time ago.
This monk Xingzang was broken by Guan Shanqi, and wanted to kill it, but found that this Guan Shanqi seemed to be a person with a bad heart, so under the coercion and temptation of this monk, the two hit it off, Guan Shanqi worshiped the monk as a teacher, and it was under the guidance of this monk that he came to Youming Valley, and the picture is today.
Just when Qian Chao was frightened and hated, panicked and had no owner, there was a sudden agitation around for no reason, and there were no doors and windows leading to the outside in the entire stone hall, but the breath was surging abnormally, as if under the wings of a giant eagle.
Qian Chao felt the breath in his body churning, and it was full and swollen like never before, making his face flushed, if there was a mirror at this time, he would be surprised to find that the green tendons on his face were bulging, and the blood vessels on his neck were like red lines that gradually thickened and blackened, and then immediately there was a burst of emptiness like a falling tide, and this sudden breath immediately disappeared without a trace, not only that, but also a kind of vague weakness like being bitten on the neck by a bloody mouth to suck the qi and blood in the body, This huge contrast between profit and loss made him extremely uncomfortable.
Is it really going to be calculated like this?
He was very unwilling in his heart, and while enduring the pain caused by the profit and loss of his breath, he quickly thought of a way to get out.
It's a pity that no matter what he plans to do, except for his eyes and mouth, he can't move half a minute.
If they can't be allowed to succeed, I'll have to enter the inner door!
Qian Chao stared around, sweeping over and over again Guan Shanqi's face that he wanted to rush over and smash and the surrounding stone pillars, what was carved on the stone pillars, rows and rows of strange lines, he couldn't see clearly, his eyes were suddenly congested and turned blood-red in the breath drumming, and when the breath was suddenly empty again, his eyes suddenly became almost gray, this change made his vision clear and blurred for a while.
Qian Chao is like this, and so are the other four people around, adjacent to him are Lu Pingchuan and Tang Ping, Lu Pingchuan's sturdy arms seem to be thick and thin for a while in this wave-like aura; And Tang Ping's complexion had already turned carmine, as did the rest of Li Jian and Yan Xuan, presumably these four people would be in pain if they were sober.
No, I'm really unwilling, if I am really robbed of the spiritual root qi sea, then it is better to die, how can I get out? The strange agitation of the breath in his body reminded him of the first time he practiced in the spiritual vein, when it was also extremely dangerous, and he couldn't move a bit, and he could only control the breath in his body little by little according to the mental method of the "Jade Sea Sutra" in panic, but now he is like being in prison, is this "Jade Sea Sutra" still useful?
No matter what, even if it doesn't work, you have to try it to know, and there is no other way.
Qian Chao made up his mind, closed his eyes, and forcibly suppressed the galloping breath of the wild horse in his body according to the veins of the Jade Sea Sutra in his body, but unfortunately, when the breath in his body was not as good as the spiritual vein, he could not be tamed at all, and failed again and again, if he didn't be able to move a bit, he couldn't wait to use his head to hit the stone slab on the ground to relieve this pain.
Finally he thought of a way, naturally I don't know if it works, but he can only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, that is, before this breath disappears, he forcibly leaves a little bit to walk in the body according to the vein map of the Jade Sea Sutra, and when the huge wave of breath hits, it is like a boat in the tide, and when the huge waves recede and the boat fell into the shallows, he desperately moved forward, and repeatedly ran the Jade Sea Sutra in the body in the way of walking a hundred steps back ninety, or even ninety-nine.
The meridians in the body were repeatedly beaten and ravaged by this violent force, one would be full and die of hunger and thirst, and the two extreme feelings came back to him repeatedly, which was really painful, even so, Qian Chao still guarded the only bit of clarity in his heart, in order to save himself.
It is estimated that no one has cultivated this "Jade Sea Sutra" in this way since its inception, and it is impossible to do it at Qian Chao's own level, he usually practices this "Jade Sea Sutra", even if he is in that spiritual vein, the breath in his body is at most a cup of tea, how can he turn up this monstrous wave now.
Qian Chao's facial features began to twist hideously when he slowly closed his eyes, and blood gradually appeared in the nostrils and corners of his eyes.
endured the severe pain, after all, it was he who forcibly ran the Yuhai Sutra for a small week, and there was a trace of feeling in the dantian. What he wanted was to find out the situation first, see if he could figure out this formation, and then find a way to get out, so when the Jade Sea passed through the difficult run to the second Xiao Zhou Tian, he gritted his teeth and desperately took advantage of the wave of breath to guide this huge wave towards the only sight he could still use.
Just when the two eyeballs in his eyes were about to burst, Qian Chao opened his eyes.
Guan Shanqi's heart was full of uncontrollable excitement at this time, he closed his eyes and carried out the inner vision technique to check the changes in his body while doing the exercises, he knew that the spirit transformation array had not been fully opened at this time, and even if the spirit root had changed, the inner vision technique would not be detectable, but he just couldn't help it.
For today's business, every time he gave a lecture to the disciples in the valley, he had to test the cultivation of several disciples, and by the way, he asked them about their qualifications without a trace. He is a thief with a weak heart, although the master keeps urging, but he still doesn't dare to be too blatant, his master repeatedly said that it must be five children, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and spiritual roots are complete, no matter whether they are good or bad, as long as the five elements are complete.
I wanted to do it in the valley and catch five body refining disciples, but the qi refining cultivator in the valley was not alone, if it was detected by others, it would not be good, if this master was not seriously injured, there was no need to be afraid of those people.
But then again, if he hadn't been seriously injured, how could he have been where he is today?
So Guan Shanqi preached the beautiful scenery of the Little Lotus Lake when he was teaching, and lured the disciples in the valley to come, but unfortunately among the people who came so far, only the five people of Qian Chao met the only condition for the completion of the five elements.
Originally, I thought that in the end, before opening the spirit, I would take advantage of the dark night to choose five disciples with complete five elements and outstanding qualifications, but I didn't expect that the spiritual roots of these five people today are already complete with five elements.
Today, it's better to do it here than to do it next to other monks. However, the kid named Li Jian was very vigilant, and he almost found himself a few times, which was very strange.
Speaking of which, he still has some dislike for the inferiority of Qian Chao's spiritual root, but he doesn't dare to go to the valley to catch a disciple of Jin Linggen for fear of being seen through, anyway, that big boy is the best qualification, and it is actually enough to have him, and when the formation is over, his spiritual root will definitely be as good as him, so his future cultivation will really be different.
Thinking of this, Guan Shanqi is still a little curious, this spiritual root can't be touched or seen on a person's body, it is estimated that even if he kills a person, he can't find what the spiritual root looks like if he cuts it open with a knife, how does this formation take people's spiritual roots for his own use?
Since you can't see the changes in your own spiritual root when you look inside, what does it look like for others to lose your spiritual root?
He couldn't help it, he must be curious to see the clues.
And he also wanted to see what kind of embarrassment that kid named Qian Chao should be now.
